You can't have a nightmare if you never dream.

IntroductionHello everyone, and welcome. I have only very recently become active in Smogon, mostly spending my time on Pokemon Showdown during this past year, but now that I am finding greater amounts of free time, I thought it'd be nice to become more active again, both on PS and on here as well. Ever since learning EV training and IV breeding during the later period of the 5th generation, I have managed to obtain a good number of competitive Pokemon. My collection is, admittedly, quite small compared to the many people who have been playing for far longer than I have, but I nevertheless believed that there were enough to justify a thread. And so here it is.

No hacks whatsoever!Although I do hope this also goes without saying. I am a notoriously paranoid person, and will hack-check everything I receive. Currently one box of my main Gen VII game is devoted to hacks I've snuffed throughout this year. Do not add to it unless you have a desire to end up on the Wi-Fi Blacklist.

I am not particularly interested in shinies, and although I have a few, their value to me isn't really greater than a non-shiny. I care mainly for absolutely perfect BR Pokemon, which has led me down many a painful path (such as breeding for perfect 31/0/31/30/31/30 HP Fire Serperior without a breeding Ditto, which meant I transferred each 30 and 0 IV down separately and took several weeks - thankfully this suffering is behind me now!).

Along similar lines, I am not especially interested in "novelty" Pokemon, even rare-event Pokemon, and consequently do not value them particularly highly. Draco Meteor Jirachi may be cool and all, but I can conceive no scenario where it would do better than my Serene Grace + Iron Head 60%=100% Jirachi.

I don't have a problem with emulators, RNG abuse, and cloning, just do make note if these are in play. Proof of RNG is always appreciated (since I do trade from time-to-time on PS), but not necessary. Conversely, you need to accept that some of the Pokemon in this thread were obtained on emulator or via RNG abuse and this will be noted if so. Further, all BRs offered in trade, as well as perfect breedables, will almost invariably be clones. If this is not OK with you, then we cannot trade.

I don't have a problem if you do not have a trade thread here, and genuine offers are always welcome.

I don't mind Pokemon that are not self-obtained, but I do require sources I can track down if necessary.

Post in this thread for trades, NOT via VM/PM. If you wish to take it to VM/PM thereafter, that is fine, but always start by posting here first.

While my own copies of my own Pokemon will typically be nicknamed, those I trade usually will not be.

Redistribution rights will be listed next to the appropriate Pokemon. In general, I am fairly lenient with my own Pokemon, but redistribution rights may always be negotiated if you would like it.

Politeness, good manners and proper English go a long way.

The name of this thread will probably make people think of Legend of Zelda... sure, let's go with that.

Pokemon Moon - Penelope, 526971, TSV: 0247 (secondary Gen VII game)

Pokemon Ultra Moon - Fate, 549579, TSV: 0166 (primary Gen VII game)

Pokemon X - X, 63814, TSV: 0024 (my main Gen VI game)

Pokemon OR - Dazza, 58217, TSV: 3079 (my secondary Gen VI game)

Pokemon Sun, Pokemon Ultra Sun, Pokemon Y, Pokemon AS (used for extra redemptions and things, but rarely used for any purpose really - also technically my brothers', but they haven't touched them in months).

LegoFigure11 who has put up with my bugging him for nearly a year now, and who has gone out of his way to help me with so many Pokemon-related things (although, now I think about it, he will dread reading this since just above it I say I want to "learn past-gen RNG for real"). On the day of reckoning, I will probably end up in hell on account of my massive unpaid debt to him. Even though I cannot repay, I will say thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Most for generously providing the breeding Dittos I used for half the Gen VII-obtained 'mons found here. Thank you so very much!

Eisenherz who created the formatting I used in this thread, and who gave me permission me to use it. Also enormous heartfelt thanks for helping me finally achieve NTR-less stationary/encounter RNG in Gen VII. Thanks so much!

Bulk Mcgee, a great friend from PS, who shared many creative competitive ideas and was the source of a number of Pokemon featured here, bred painstakingly via Masuda Method + Shiny Charm.

USER 8575, another great friend, and many of whose Pokemon, RNG'd across different gens, can be found here.

There are certainly many others who have aided my Pokemon journey, but for the sake of space, I will condense my gratitude to these others here. Thank you!

Psychic | Focus Blast | Shadow Ball | Hidden Power (Ice)
OT: Penelope | TID: 526971 | Self-bred
N.B. This set is a bit dated and was used in early SM prior to the drop of the faster Megas. HP Ice was a lucky breeding mistake, which I figured I might as well make a set out of.​

Egg Moves: Dragon Dance
OT: Penelope | TID: 526971 | Self-bred
N.B. This is one of my favourite sets in Battle Tree, and easily one of the most successful. I figured I might as well include it here, at the very least as a template for a set that works well in Tree. ​

N.B. This is no longer a particularly relevant set, but was a staple for one of my teams during early SM OU. Its concept was to allow Mega Charizard X and Belly Drum Azumarill to play lackadaisically early-game, then Defog and Z-Memento to buy them a setup opportunity late-game to clean up. It could be hit-and-miss due to my own inexperience, but was brutal when pulled off. I am happy to amend the set within reason to fit a more common OU set on request.​

N.B. This Pokemon is free-redistributable, which means if I do trade it, it will be done for free. However, this does not mean that simply asking means I will trade it. If you would like a copy, see the Sondex (link above) run by Sondero. I will very likely not trade this Pokemon, to respect the fact that Sondero's own giveaway, which features this Pokemon, is still ongoing.​

OT: トウホク | 11252 | RNG'd by That Crazy Pug (PS) on Emulator with Injected Wondercard, Happy Christmas - Pokemon Center Victini Event (Japan), received via trade with Abom (PS).
N.B. This is an old set from the days of XY OU. The EVs in Special Attack enables 2HKO of Slowbro and Hippowdon with Energy Ball, and OHKO of defensive Landorus-T after Rocks, 2HKO of Latios after Rocks, and OHKO of Naive Garchomp with Glaciate. With Z-Celebrate, however, this set is no longer as favoured, particularly due to the advent of stronger wallbreakers this gen. ​

Leaf Storm | Hidden Power (Fire) | Leech Seed | Substitute
OT: X | 63814 | Self-bred, nicknamed "Cobra Rex" (cannot be nicknamed as it was obtained in Gen VI with no copy kept there).
N.B. This is my proudest breeding achievement to date. In between transferring the requisite IVs manually, then having to use the Battle Institute to level the babies to 50 to check their IVs, this was a lot of hard work that felt really good to end with perfection. 56 HP allows Serperior's substitute to survive Rotom-W's Hydro Pump. This is a bit of an outdated utility, I may amend if I feel like it at a later stage. ​

N.B. This was the pivot set common at the end of ORAS OU, and a cornerstone of one of my most successful teams to date. I will probably update this set to a more modern one when time permits.​

OT: Penelope | TID: 526971 | Self-bred
N.B. Another older set, I will definitely update soon. No idea why I EV'd to trigger people's OCD - I presume I must have used wings and tried to get cutesy. In other news, I am glad that my starter of choice proved the most relevant competitively (since my starter of choice in Johto was Cyndaquil, in Hoenn it was Treecko, in Unova it was Tepig and in Kalos it was Fennekin - so I only picked right 3 out of 7 times with Charmander, Infernape and now Popplio). ​

N.B. It still makes me happy that my initial Fini nature of choice proved to be the one that became most favoured, despite the initial hype around Bold and Calm, and even Modest. The EV spread is a bit outdated, and I might amend at a later stage. In other news, Fini is definitely my favourite of the Tapus because it is such an elegant Pokemon. ​

N.B. This was one of my favourite sets for a while (except I used Thunder over Thunderbolt). It was sheer joy catching Charizards and Volcaronas after setup thanks to that 103 Speed. Unfortunately, everyone thereafter became privy to it and every single team began packing Excadrill...​

N.B. 2 This set is so fun when it works. It is, however, next to impossible to work it. ​

You can't have a nightmare if you never dream.

Breedables More to come. My breakables are more disorganized than my room, so this is probably going to be quite a tedious process.
For absolutely 100% perfect HP or 0 Atk or Spe breeds, it is likely that you will receive a clone as opposed to me breeding another one, unless you should request one of the balls which the perfect IV was not bred in; depending on the complexity of the breed and the difficulty of getting the requisite IVs, however, I may only be able and willing to provide an imperfect breed (with, say, non-zero attack), unless you can offer me something that is worth my time. Under special circumstances, I may be willing to breed Pokemon in another ball of your choice (i.e. one that is not listed), as with the exception of Dream Balls, I can attain essentially any legal ball combination if I so chose. This will typically only happen if you can offer something I seriously desire, however, as I am not sufficiently interested in Ball combinations for me to breed afresh (not to mention, in some cases, resetting time endlessly for HGSS swarms or using the Safari system) for the sake of a ball.
Some Pokemon have more than 4 EMs listed, due to me breeding things for different purposes. You are permitted to choose the 4 you want, in that case. The same applies to abilities and nature. For these (that is, ability, nature and EM combinations), I am willing to breed according to your specifications provided you can be patient, since there is actual competitive value to this (as opposed to ball combinations).
